AMD has released their 17.10 chipset drivers and Ryzen Balanced Power Plan update, here:

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/chipset?os=Windows+10+-+64

If you've used the Ryzen Power Plan for Windows, you may have noticed the Maximum processor frequency setting, which is set to 0 MHz by default. Confused

I'm using an ASRock X370 Killer SLI/ac board, 1700X CPU, and G.SKILL FlareX 3200 memory.

I installed the new 17.10 chipset drivers, and set my CPU settings to stock/default in the UEFI to see what would happen. After doing that and booting into Windows 10, this is what I get for the Ryzen Balanced power plan:



Maximum processor frequency of 0 MHz? That seems to allow whatever the settings in the UEFI/BIOS are, as my CPU operated at its standard base clock and Turbo speeds.

With stock/default CPU settings, if I change the Maximum processor frequency setting to say 2500MHz, the base CPU speed was changed, but not to 2500MHz, it was about 2900MHz. Other changes to that frequency didn't do very much, I didn't try it for very long.

Next I set my CPU OC, which is just 3925MHz in the UEFI. Booted into Windows 10, checked the Ryzen Power Plan again, and now I see this:



The Maximum and Minimum processor state settings are gone.

What are you getting if you install this new (is it really new?) chipset and Ryzen Power Plan? Do you also see the changes in the plan options at stock and over clocked settings?

I haven't played with this very much since I lost the ability to boot into the Bios and have been trying to see what triggered it.

I do remember seeing 0% though before my Bios booting issue began.

I'll try it again once I have the PC set back up. I'm reloading all of my drivers atm.

Do you have "Fast boot" or "Ultrafast boot" enabled? As I recall, you can't get into bios without
resetting bios if you do.

Why don't I have the option of minimum processor State? Anyone? I have the Ryzen balanced power plan, but this option is not listed under change power plan settings> advanced>processor power management

Edit: so I'm to learn AMD disabled Pstates if you overclock. WTF is this crap? This is absolutely ridiculous.

So there is 2 ways around this overclock with ryzen master or overclock using only the pstates in the bios.  The regular old overclock method deletes this option.  Also if I change from stock voltage this option goes away.  So I just overclock using pstate method to whatever is stable at stock voltage.

Doesn't a 90% minimum seem high?

The Ryzen Chipset drivers have been updated again via AMD, based on the date, but the version number hasn't changed.
